They depend upon coordination with their warders and well planned spells to finish every fight, but they can also aid a group through their spells and melee abilities.

| == Pets (Warders) ==
| | == Shrinking warder == |
| Beastlords are a major pet class. Although beastlords have very good melee abilities, their pets (warders) are of great importance.
| |
| | |
| Here is a description of the warders:<ref>[http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/index.php?threads/the-pet-tank-problem-and-how-we-plan-to-fix-it.212513/#post-3108825 SOE forum post by Roshen, EQ Community Relations, July 31, 2014]</ref>

| === Species and Name<ref name=eqwiki>https://everquest.fandom.com/wiki/Warder"</ref> ===
| |
| The species of warder summoned by a beastlord corresponds to that beastlord's chosen race:
| |
| | |
| * [[Barbarian]] beastlords summon a white wolf
| |
| * [[Iksar]] beastlords summon a green chokidai (scaled wolf)
| |
| * [[Ogre]] beastlords summon a bear (low-poly, older model)
| |
| * [[Troll]] beastlords summon a basilisk (formerly an alligator, but this was changed many years ago)
| |
| * [[Vah Shir]] beastlords summon a tiger
| |
| * [[Wood Elf]] beastlords summon a treant (tree)
| |
| | |
| Species differences between the warders are purely cosmetic, but they add some racial roleplaying flavor to the class.
| |
| | |
| Unless it has been renamed using a Potion of Companion's Amnesia, a beastlord's warder will always be named "Soandso's warder," where "Soandso" is the name of the beastlord.

| === Size ===
| |
| {{cquote|<br />Change logs show that the heights on some or all of ogre beastlord's warders were changed in 2014. The lowest level pet is height 1.3 and it scales up with better focuses and higher levels to 4.92 at the top end. The smallest ones are pretty tiny and I can see how this would look odd/wrong, but this doesn't appear to be new.||| [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/live-update-bugs-03-13-2019.255584/page-4#post-3764779 Prathun, EQ Developer, March 14, 2019]}}
